1Yahweh reigns! He is clothed with majesty! Yahweh is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved. 2Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting. 3The floods have lifted up, Yahweh, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves. 4Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, Yahweh on high is mighty. 5Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, Yahweh, forever more.
